Poetry Recording Update

and a salutatory compendium for new subscribers.

This is just a little update to draw your attention to some fun I’ve been having with my new Zoom H1n recorder — and to put together a little compendium for those who have recently subscribed.

First, for the newcomers, I thought I’d share a few of the posts that introduce or explore the themes I most often feel inspired to write about here …

1. A thematic glimpse of my fantasy series and this substack newsletter:

Flames of the Exiled Overture

2. Dreams of what the landscape of our home might resemble (Feat. C S Lewis, J R R Tolkien and George MacDonald on an alternative to Nostalgia, that which we Long for and that which Tabernacles with us):

More Real, Please.

3. And the latest from my On the Way to the Beginning series:

On the Way to the Beginning: The Dark Before Dawn

Now, the poetry.

I’ve been making a few small edits to the poems here and adding audio recordings. I thought I’d compile them in this post (in the order in which they were published) for those interested in reading or listening to some poetry today …

1. A formless little poem about sunsets and roses:

The Sky was Sketched in Pastel

2. The Elfin World of Spiderwebs in the Moss:

The Orb- and the Elfin-Weaver

3. An ear turned to the murmuring of mountains:

Waves of Mountains Born

4. Remembering a quiet quest through the southern shores:

Wilson's Promontory

5. A poetic reflection on a little self-exile in the Great Dividing Range:

Celestial Creek

6. A tale of Arthurian alchemy:

Ballad of a Broken Bell

7. The Blue Throne:

Plumbago

8. A few words for the morning:

Watch Him Rise

I’m hoping to record a reading of the prequel novella (Of Ashes Born) soon — and I’m also working on a little speculative novelette that borders on the perilous realm, which will hopefully be finished soon …

Thanks for checking in, and happy listening/reading.
